Scriblio for civilians - Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Gosh, I wish I were better at coming up with post titles…
I had an email yesterday inquiring about some details of Scriblio. As I wrote back, answering her questions, it occurred to me that it was exactly the kind of thing it’s easy for me, so close to the project to take for granted [...]

Will they come? - Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

It seems strange to me that there isn’t a super slick solution for calendaring/events management tasks within Wordpress. When we first developed the Tamworth Library site we used (correct me if I’m wrong) phpiCalendar and Google Calendar. The library’s Children’s Librarian would login into their Events Google Calendar and enter upcoming events [...]

Ten dollars short - Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Update: Sample records are now a .zip file and are working.
Note: Cross-posted at Scriblio.
Yes, I know, I promised it ten days and a whole release ago, but you can stop holding your breath. I present the new* Scriblio for Wordpress 2.3.1 installation instructions:

2. Download and install [...]

Trigger happy - Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Okay, well, my upgrade didn’t go quite as smoothly as it appeared. Sue pointed out that my uploads hadn’t come along. I’ve fixed that problem but I’ve also discovered the posts were renumbered so a bunch of links are now dead. Anyone else encountered this and/or fixed it after the fact? [...]

One sweet victory deserves another - Sunday, October 7th, 2007

I successfully upgraded to Wordpress 2.3 today. It was easy.

Sweet sweet victory - Sunday, September 30th, 2007

These are now obsolete. Check these out.
Scriblio is truly in beta form. We released it before it was all polished and buffed in order to get some feedback and start building some community around it. That, of course, comes with some frustrations. Despite my own involvement with the project, when you [...]

Software motor derby - Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

I am a new, but enthusiastic, arrival to the concept of open source software. I use Gaim to integrate my many IM/Chat accounts; I’m currently advocating a slow migration away from Windows OSs to Linux products on our servers at work; beginning with the web server so that I can more easily run the [...]

Master, soon I’ll be - Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

As I’ve mentioned I’m very close to earning my MLIS. I’ve just begun my final class, a ’studio class’ taught by David Lankes called Planning and Creating a Digital Library (IST 759). I’m to use the semester to build a portfolio to demonstrate my understanding of a number of facets; among them, wonderfully [...]
